Default stech teins

yeah i know, everyone has posted about this... but i have a couple questions--- if i get the stecks (they are the ones that only lower it a little over a inch, right?) what else should i replace? the struts? the shocks? are those the same thing? sorry for the noob questions, but i don't even have the car yet... i'm thinkin of this all in my mind and i dun know much about cars. all i know is trucks. cept for the knowledge i've gained on here....

i plan on runnin either 15 or 16 wheels ( dunno what, just whatever i can find at the time that looks good) and prolly have my uncle powder coat them for me.

anybody? thanks for the info

i just did springs and iv had them on for like 8 months now or more and havent had a problem with stock struts, you could get new shocks just to improve on performance wise tho

they lower 1.9 in the front and 1.7 in the rear. new shocks would be a good idea, but not a necessity. i have 16's w/ 205/45 tires and i only rub when i turn really hard, so you wont have problems.

Along with the springs, I would change the struts and replace the bushings with polyurethane ones. You might as well install sway bars too, since your suspension will be taken apart.

sway bars are nice, but dont feel that you NEED to get them. to answer your other question on the other topic, ebay they will run you about 135 shipped, on raceinspired.com they are about 140ish(add 5 for insurance).
